Thanks for the info.

nevermind...............

These have the same larger shared system memory size like regular Geforce drivers.

305.53 and 305.67 had 1024mb, 306.63 has 2816mb.

So these are newer than the v306.23 WHQL drivers then but betas? I will install these later and check them out.

Are there any release notes that detail the changes/additions/improvements since the last certified set?

Ah, so these are a developer driver then and possibly using code that is older than the 306.23 WHQLs for some games?

#4418411 Posted on: 09/26/2012 04:53 PM

The last couple of dev drivers have worked very well for the 690,have yet to test these.

#4418416 Posted on: 09/26/2012 04:55 PM

Thanks for that info. Here's hoping the issues with BF3 are fixed.

#4418430 Posted on: 09/26/2012 05:17 PM

My issue with Battlefield 3 seems to be fixed. No more graphical glitching as seen with this POST. Granted I have only tested the Alborz Mountain map, I am hoping the rest of the Armored Kill maps are glitch free as well. I will report back after I have had time to test the maps thoroughly.

Very well, but where is the 660/660ti support ?

#4418466 Posted on: 09/26/2012 05:52 PM

Didn't you hear? Nvidia discontinued them.

#4418476 Posted on: 09/26/2012 06:01 PM

lol

It's in there, I don't think they updated the page properly for the new driver.

#4418576 Posted on: 09/26/2012 07:26 PM

How does one find out this info? I've sifted through several of the driver's files and never found anything about branch/version.

#4418583 Posted on: 09/26/2012 07:34 PM

---

If you use Inspector, it will show the driver branch in the Driver Version tab.

i cant find the driver listed on nvidias site ?

notebook testing driver ? problem ?

The last couple of drivers all gave me trouble with DisplayPort here and there. Sometimes while the screen was on ("not optimal mode") and sometimes the display simply won't wake up anymore. Really bad.
